For Organisations
Develop the people who deliver the projects.
Your margin lives at package level, with the managers who run the work and the senior leaders who run the managers. Structured coaching, filtered before you fund it, priced in the open, and measured where you measure: the commercial account, not the feedback form.
Filter before you fund
Programme money spent on the wrong candidate is written off twice: the fee, and the quarter. Two sessions exist so that never happens. The Contribution Session is the quick filter. The Readiness Check is the evidence. In both, the full fee credits toward the candidate’s programme within 30 days, and the candidate sees their written read before you do. No surprises, ever. It is how the honest reads stay honest.
| Session | Middle management | Senior management |
|---|---|---|
| The Contribution Session · 1 × 90 min, one page, a 15-minute check-in at two weeks | $500 | $1,000 |
| The Readiness Check · 2 × 90 min, colleague check, two weeks of evidence, four-page read | $2,500 | $3,500 |
Per candidate. These two sessions are priced per head and sit outside the cohort tiers below.
All prices in USD. Corporate-sponsored fees are net of any withholding or similar taxes, which are borne by the sponsoring organisation. Simplified Advisory Services FZ LLE is not currently VAT-registered; no VAT is charged.
Before you invest
The question a sponsor is really asking is not whether a manager is good. You already know that; it is why they are on the list. The question is whether the habits that came with the results will change, and whether the person still wants the seat you are developing them for. A nine-month programme answers neither before the money is spent. The Readiness Check answers both in two weeks.
It works like this. Four to six colleagues answer six short questions about how the candidate behaves under pressure, including at least one senior stakeholder they have had to work around. Before seeing the answers, the candidate predicts them. In the first session the two are set side by side. The candidate chooses one thing to change and asks three colleagues for a forward-looking suggestion. Two weeks later, in the second session, we read what happened: did they attempt it, did anyone notice, and is the plan worth keeping. You get one page per candidate on three questions: do they see it, will they act, and do they still want this path. The candidate reads it first.
An example. A developer about to send two project managers on a UK business-school programme. Both had delivered. Both had left bruises. The sponsor’s worry was not ability; it was whether nine months of investment would change anything the colleagues could see, and whether either would still be there at month seven. Two Readiness Checks, four weeks, and the sponsor nominated one with confidence and had a different conversation with the other.
If the candidate goes on to a programme, with us or with anyone else, the colleague check can be run again at the end of it. That gives you a before and after on behaviour at work, which no programme provider’s own evaluation will give you.
Coaching at cohort scale, priced in the open

Your projects don’t lose money on engineering. They lose it where collaboration breaks.
This Is Collaboration is seven modules of commercial-grade collaboration skill for the people at package level, where the claims, the silences and the point-scoring actually start. The mechanics are concrete and trainable: interrupting the corridor narrative before the whole team inherits it, the playback that ends the meeting where both sides heard different agreements, and asking what winning looks like for the other party before you ask them for anything.
If your people do the work: fewer disputes escalating past package level, earlier flags on the problems that cost real money, and a team the client asks for by name on the next job. Measured in the commercial account, not in feedback forms.
Priced per cohort, not per participant: USD 4,900–6,800 for the full cohort (AED 18,000–25,000), set within the range by cohort size and delivery format.
Against sending them elsewhere
The certified content is available from other providers at a comparable rate. What is not available elsewhere is a coach who has held the roles your people are being developed into, in this region, at your scale, working their live issues rather than a case study.
Same curriculum. Different coach. Same rate.
What corporate sponsors ask
How do we know coaching budget won’t be wasted on the wrong people?
That is what the Contribution Session and the Readiness Check are for. Every candidate is filtered before programme money moves, and occasionally the answer is “coaching is not the right tool for this person yet”, delivered to you straight, because the filter only protects your budget if it is honest.
What reporting do we get as the sponsor?
Progress against the development goals agreed at the start, plus the written outputs of either session. Session content stays confidential to the candidate, and candidates see written outputs before you do. That confidentiality is what makes the coaching work, and the results are visible where you need them: on the project.
Can we negotiate the rates?
No, and that is a feature. The tiers are published; your cohort size selects the bracket. Nobody who bought last quarter paid more than you for the same thing.
Can we mix levels in one cohort?
Middle and senior tiers run as separate products because the work is different. You can run both concurrently under one engagement; the scoping call configures it.
How does invoicing work?
Corporate engagements run on proposal and invoice, not card checkout. Sessions for one or two candidates can be booked and paid directly online where your organisation permits card payment. Where a purchase order is required, book a scoping call and we will run it on proposal and invoice.
Who delivers everything?

What is the difference between the Contribution Session and the Readiness Check?
The Contribution Session is one conversation and one page: a quick, honest filter before you commit budget. The Readiness Check adds what a conversation cannot give you: what the candidate’s colleagues see, what the candidate predicted they would see, and what happened when the candidate tried to change one thing with a colleague watching. Use the first when you want to know where to start. Use the second when you are about to spend serious money on someone.
Bring the org chart. Leave with a configuration.
A 20-minute scoping call is enough to map levels, cohort sizes and the right entry points. No proposal theatre.
